Meet Mark Smith

Born and raised in the Lowcountry, I’ve lived the values that make South Carolina strong — faith, family, hard work, and freedom.

For over 30 years, I’ve built and led a successful small business serving families across our state, creating jobs, and helping people in their hardest moments. I’m not a career politician — I’m a conservative businessman who’s rolled up my sleeves, signed the front of the paycheck, and gotten things done.

In the State House, I’ve delivered results: cutting taxes, fighting illegal immigration, backing the blue, and standing up for our conservative values. Now I’m running for Congress to shake up Washington, support President Trump, and take our fight to the front lines.
My wife Elayne and I have been married for 31 years. We’ve raised three sons — Parker, Avery, and Domenic — and we’re proud to call Daniel Island home, along with our loyal dog, Hugo. We’re active members of St. Clare of Assisi Catholic Church.

I’m honored to serve as President of the Daniel Island Republican Club, and I’ve spent years giving back through leadership roles with the Rotary Club of Charleston, the Lowcountry Food Bank, and the S.C. Advisory Council on Aging.

I’ve never forgotten where I come from — and I’ll never stop fighting for the Lowcountry.
